Instead recommending something, I can give you the opposite.

I have bought Dive Into Python 3 book (Czech translation) the other day
because I already knew this series are free on the internet and I rarely
googled its examples.

I have to say its the worst programming book I have ever read about
Python, very bad in general. Style of text >looks< like it is funny, but
it is not. Examples are not good, pieces of working programs are not
clear for beginners and the whole concept sucks. Also, author goes from
B to A and vice versa, it is not a tutorial, it is not a documentation,
it is nothing.

It's just a bunch of long examples with lame text. This guy from Apex NC
is not good author of programming books, I have to say. Signing this:

Yes, it's free as in free beer. But it is not good.
